Extra 260?
 
Which of these two would a better combination(power to weight, wingloading, easer to see in the air, better quality, ect.) with a DLE-30cc? This will be my first gasser and first plane bigger than a .40.

Also, If anyone knows of any vids of either of these planes with a DLE-30cc please post them.

you cant go wrong with those 2 choices, the good thing is that Tom is in USA so he can help you anytime. Pilot RC has great airplanes also, i love the color combinations. You can Ask Tom also for a combo almost RTF just add your rx and you can go out. Personally i would buy a really good servos, maybe a super overkill like 7955, why? cause believe me, after you go gas, you dont look back(glow) and you will want a bigger airplane later, 50cc or 100cc and that servos will work for you, but of course is my personal opinion.

RE: Extra 260?
 
at this point, get the one that fit your taste, colors, aiframe, etc....both are almost the same wing area 960 vs. 964. One Advice give Tom a call...and talk with him just a few min....and then decide, sometimes talk with the company helps.

Good luck.

Hi r/cNUT

If I were you. just starting in gas I would go with Tom at WildHare as he can answer
your questions NOW and in the FUTURE on gas set up...
ALSO: get you started on using A123 batteries...:D
